They will make the buying and selling process smooth and easy for you. Picking a good real estate agent is important for your overall selling and buying experience. You should do some research before choosing your agent.

When picking a real estate agent you should read the agent’s client reviews or talk to their previous clients to see how their overall experience was with the agent. You can ask the agent for a list of what they have listed and sold in the past year, with contact information. You should also check to see if they have any disciplinary actions or complaints and make sure they have a real estate license for your state. You can usually find these online or through your states regulatory body. It is also recommended to ask or see if they have any professional awards. “Realtor of the year” is a highly rated award that is given by the National Association of Realtors (NAR). This could be an added bonus if they do and show that they exceed in their work.

Another recommendation is to check the agent’s credentials and see if they specialize in a certain area of real estate sales. Designations could include Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) or Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES). You should also find out how much experience an agent has by asking them directly or find out from a state licensing authority. Next, look up the agents listings online at places like realtor.com and view what properties they have listed, and see if you would buy or sell through them. Lastly, see how knowledgeable the agent is of the properties in your area by asking about a house that was recently sold or is on the market. This will let you know how well they know the market. You should use all these tips when you are looking for a high-quality real estate agent.
